My 75

Postby Mark R » Wed Jan 13, 2010 12:47 am

Well, here it is.... first I want to thank everyone who answered my questions on setting it up, and second thanks to all those who provided me with livestock whether from the frag swap or letting me come by their house to pick up some frags.. .but most improtantly thanks to my wife who puts up with me and this hobby.

I used 5 30# bags of the sugar sized aragamax and what ever was left in the old 55 I had.

After rinsing all the sand I was left with a 4" sand bed.

I arranged the rocks the best I could in the sand storm that lasted 2 days and I was left with this....
